Well, I take to my blog to rant a little bit about my low energy & tiredness due to a lack of sleep.
I'm bored, tired, uninspired and when I try to think about doing something productive, my mind all but contorts itself into an indistinguishable shape. The wires do not seem to connect. I think that I must've used up my batteries this morning conjuring up various enterprises that would make me money, either here or back in Serbia. Then I researched online about possibly setting up a stall on Portobello Market, although I still don't know what the heck I would be selling...cue thinking about taking up a new craft to learn, then researching various courses only to remember that there are no classes convenient or cheap enough. Well, that idea evoporated quickly. The dream is still there though! I 'll just have to work out the logistics when my mind is more clear, whenever that day is....
Which brings me to the conclusion that SLEEP is a sacred state of being!!! The benefits are astounding- this is also due to the fact that it is what we actually NEED! Like food, water and oxygen. I don't think that sleep can be catagorised into the same amount for everyone. For example, I've always known that I function best at 10 hours +, whereas I know people who only need 5. Strange, isn't it?
I also find that after my usual Saturday Sleep Marathons (getting up past noon) weighing myself 1st thing upon getting up is usually a positive experience. I'm usually a kilo lower than I would be weighing myself at 6am. I believe the case is that my body has had more time to repair itself AND to digest anything remaining in my gut, resulting in a lower body weight. FANTASTIC! Now, if only I could put this into use everyday? Hahahaha, would be nice.
Sleep is also my sanctuary from the stresses of every day life, there's nothing like peaceful slumber and lucid dreaming to pleasure the senses. I adore it. Sometimes in periods of over-sleeping (I guess that's possible) it has been because I haven't been able to bring my dream to its conclusion fast enough, so I have to dream it out in order to wake! I know, weird.
Before I get out of bed in the mornings for work (6.20am) I pray the "Our Father" to God and also an extra prayer pleading Him to help me find the energy to leave my bed! Oh boy... well, it must be working.
I must compose a poem about sleep someday, perhaps it might wake me up!:)
